“Hopefully…even little kids can not only see something sad that happened but be inspired.”

A “Stand with Junior” mural has been painted in honor of the teenager slain outside of a Bronx bodega. Fifteen-year-old Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, also known as Junior, was stabbed on June 20. Following the attack, he reportedly ran to a local hospital where he collapsed and died. The teenager’s death sparked nationwide outrage, which people — including family, friends, and celebrities — expressed using the #JusticeForJunior hashtag on social media. And on Sunday, just days after Lesandro’s June 27 [funeral] (https://www.teenvogue.com/story/lesandro-guzman-felizs-funeral-attended-by-thousands), the newest tribute was unveiled in his Bronx neighborhood.

The mural, created by artist Chris Pyrate, depicts Junior wearing a New York Yankees jersey with a halo and angel wings, according to the NY Daily News. Next to that image, Chris painted an additional set of empty angel wings, between which mourners and passersby can position themselves and (momentarily) become angels alongside the slain teen. “Hopefully, with things like this in the neighborhood, even little kids can not only see something sad that happened but be inspired," Chris told NBC News.

Annette de Jesus, who helped organize the project, told the Daily News that community members helped fund the mural in less than a day. “A lot of people were sharing their feelings of sadness,” she said. “They didn’t hesitate to reach into their pockets.”

Chris, with the help of local artist Ashley Reyes, completed much of the project in four days, and then invited Lesandro’s family and friends to add the final touch: fingerprints depicting lights over the 48 painted candles that line the bottom, according to NBC News. The number of candles reportedly represents New York’s 48th precinct where Junior hoped to serve as a police officer one day.

Previous reports indicate police believe Junior may have been the victim of a case of mistaken identity in an attack by the Dominican gang Trinitarios. Eight people have been arrested and charged in connection with Lesandro's death.

Chris told ABC News he tried to capture a happy version of the teen in the mural; how Junior’s family wants him to be remembered. "What I would love for them to feel about it is tranquility, a sense of peace,” he said. “I tried to capture his smile in the pictures that I've seen of him where he looks really happy.”
